Gloomy

I agree, if you feel it is affecting your mental health you should by all means take care of yourself and avoid it. I can understand how this is sensible.

But why the block? Why not disagree and move on with your life?

I won’t block different perspectives. If I disagree I disagree and move on, but why block somebody? I think it is important to have your believes challenged.

I agree completely.

It comes down to wanting the best for yourself and only for yourself. There can’t be any other motivation for destroying a whole planet in order to get a live with vastly more money than you could ever spend.

The Fedverse works in mysterious ways 🤷

Beeing honest about mistakes you make is way better than trying to deflect or lie about them. This is true in professional and in social settings.

Own up to your mistakes, try to correct them and be open about you fucking up. Most people will respect that more than you trying to be Mr or Ms Perfect.

Bullshit. You wouldn’t call it ethical to kill a 5 year old you see in the street just because it is done quick and painless.

Murder doesn’t become ethical just because it’s not also torture.

New Zealand by far. Nature was just so awesome.

Have a source from me then.

But aren’t more and special cheeper EVs better for the environment? So by preventing of softening the Tariffs on Chinese EVs, BMW etc are helping the environment.

Not out of altruism, sure, but it IS a good example of capitalism working towards a greener world.

Or am I missing something?

I am not very well read in political theory, but I would agree with the idea that capitalism HAS to end in crisis because exponancial groth just can’t be sustained.

I would further point out that, to my limited knowledge, capitalism is a (or even the) root cause of the current climate crisis (altough things like humans inability to solve long term problems, as well as other factors come into play too. After all, things like the ozon hole have been solved even under a capitalist system).

Fahsism is not a very well defined term. Can you expand why you see America (whom I assume you are reversing to?) as a fashist regime?

Thanks a lot :-). Will be another couple of days max.

I don’t know about other nations. In Germany we have had the Conservative Party ruling for 16 years as a right leaning Party, 4 years of a left party that implemented right wing neo fashist ideas, followed by another 16 years of conservative rule with more centeristic than right wing rule (the political void in the right was filled by the AFD, which has become a true fashist party in the last 10 years). The only “left” government we ever had in the last 36 years has been in the last 2, and they are heavily restricted by beeing in a coalition with a neo liberal right wing party.

So, at least for Germany, this just doesn’t hold true.

The Netherlands will very likely have a right wing government and will be heading down the same path. Same with Italy, Sweden, Denmark.

With the next European election this year the right wing parties in the European Parliament will gain a lot of traction.

We could be heading down the American path and lose a lot or the progress we made over the last 2 decades.

I will be a father in a couple or hours. Between the right taking to power and accelerating climate change i am just so fucking worried in what kind of world my kids will grow up.

I just copied them over from here. Works for me.

True, but there will be New Solutions. Or no YT for me at least. I am not willing to watch a single stupid add. Not one.

Jtlyk, you can use a custom keyboard, like Swift Key. Many have the option to scale according to your preferences.

Duuuuuuude

You are overthinking this.
